This very cool custom made wooden jigsaw puzzle was designed by the customer. The customer did all of the artwork (except for the final placement of the text within the puzzle). The customer provided the artwork for the Mao-Mao dog figural although I decided to cut it as a single piece instead of multiple pieces per original request as in my judgement the interior line cuts would be far more attractive.

As it happened (from my Journal archives)

11:20 pm - Completed about a third of the massive Chili Peppers puzzle. I started the piece size a bit too small, so instead of the ordered 256 pieces, it will likely be in the mid 300's maybe higher. Plan to complete it tomorrow and ship on Tuesday.

8:58 pm - In a long day of work , I completed the massive Chili Peppers puzzle - except for a dog's face figural which will be cut into multiple pieces pending customer confirmation (I think it looks cool the way it is!). Edit: The piece remained an individual piece!
